...a sign to start singing...

It's the old rule that drunks
have to argue
and get into fights.
The lover is just as bad:
he falls into a hole.
But down in that hole he finds
something shining,
worth more than any amount
of money or power.
Last night the moon came
dropping her clothes
in the street.
I took it as a sign to start singing,
falling up into the bowl of sky.
The bowl breaks.
Everywhere is falling
everywhere.

Nothing else to do.

Here's the
new rule: break
the wineglass,
and fall toward
the glassblower's
breath.

Five Sutras of the Aquarian Age

1. Recognize the other person is you.

2. Thereʼs a way through every block.

3. When the time is on you, start and the pressure will be off.

4. Understand through compassion, otherwise, you will misunderstand the times.

5. Vibrate the cosmos and the cosmos shall clear the path.

by Yogi Bhajan with a tip of the hat to Roberta

The Inside Out

Someone asked me just recently how the Sacred Intentional Fire went at Starwood. So this is for those who did not attend or hear.

It was a strange and beautiful piece of magic.

Yust planted some seeds and one of them came to me through Bellavia. Many of the seeds were eaten by crows but I nurtured mine in my heart, unaware of the actions of such. The idea had died on stony ground and there was no spark of life. Then I showed the sprout I was growing and we grew our garden anew. O... read more

I found a baby Black Rat Snake today at the storage place where I am clearing out my junk. It was in front of the door of the space next to me and looked like someone had found it and left it there. He (it was identified as a male) was stuck to a piece of tape almost completely and definitely having a difficult time of it. I knew he would die if I left him but I wasn't sure if I would be able to get him off the tape without fatally injuring him anyway. I knew I had to do something, either... read more

Beautiful communication and relationships take time and patience. As Georgia O'Keefe said, "Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time." We have to open ourselves to the flower to see it as we do to each other to be friends.

Television and film have led us to believe that people's hearts open and flow in less than 2 hours. That people have it all figured out from meeting, to growth, conflict, r... read more

Joe is as fine a man as they come. Smarter than he knows what to do with, funnier than he'll let on, softer than you might notice.

Incapable of leaving the house in under 90 minutes.

He'll cart your furniture across the country, snake your drain, cook for all your friends.

Joe is among the most authentically magical people I’ve met. He intuites his way through a dance with the elements FEARLESSLY.

Beautiful boy.
